She begins sifting through old voice memos and lyric notes, trying to remember what it was like to have original ideas. She assembles some of these into rough demos, which she shows no one. She develops a kindred feeling with spiders. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e99b44b64389621ca526f3b/d5f29057-ac7d-4192-934f-114676f262c8/17B7847A-214F-4723-A0B0-9B2E83CD43A9_1_105_c.jpg P R O J E C T S - SP(INNER)ACE - HALLOWEEN 2020 BALTIMORE, MD A COVID-tested Allison stops to see Scott on her way up to spend Halloween with her parents. She shows him some of her demos, and they improvise together for the first time. Scott, well-taught in recording engineering, has the foresight to mic Allison on vocals and himself on violin. The improvisation lasts 30 minutes. Having felt it as a divine spiritual experience, they keep it in a safe place for later. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e99b44b64389621ca526f3b/0b24c60c-aeda-4c37-b359-7b4af29a2480/IMG_3307.jpg P R O J E C T S - SP(INNER)ACE - MARCH 2021 BALTIMORE, MD Now living in Brooklyn, Allison comes down for a week to stay with Scott and record the now-solidified four main tracks with drummer Adam Kantz and bassist Lawrence Huftles. They set up studio camp in An Die Musik, eat exclusively the orange cookies Allison baked for the band (pictured) and curry from the great Indian place across the street (not pictured). Inspired by the beauty of the venue, Scott and Allison record footage for a potential music video for Find Me. It is a huge bright spot of collaboration and perseverance in an otherwise isolated time, and hits as a huge creative step forward in the process. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e99b44b64389621ca526f3b/9e23f809-8ca6-416f-9202-4c481238d06e/IMG_5426.jpg P R O J E C T S - SP(INNER)ACE - JUNE 2021 CRANBURY, NJ With all the instrumental aspects recorded and preliminary mixes done, Scott and Allison get together to record additional vocals and discuss more creative directions for the rest of the mixing process. They convert the closet of Allison’s childhood playroom into their soundproof recording booth, are interrupted by lawn mowers, and record a good bit of content in the pitch black night after suburbia had gone to sleep. They absolutely lose their minds playing with Scott’s ribbon synthesizer and going to taco bell. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e99b44b64389621ca526f3b/05f21207-acd9-4e45-8360-94194a525c4c/85408547-E995-4951-AFEB-D98650B95C92_1_105_c.jpeg P R O J E C T S - SP(INNER)ACE - JUNE 2021 PUTNAM STATION, NY Scott joins Allison up on Lake George in the Adirondacks to perform demos of their work (and others) in the first week of her NOGO Arts summer series.

The work was produced through the Lewis Center for the Arts, and culminated in a weekend of performances in The Wallace Theater in November of 2019. Spann intended this project to further the idea of anti-disciplinary creation as explored in Masquerade, with design elements fused with the narrative. To explore the theme of healing through vulnerability and creation, Spann pushed creators to expand on their expected roles–with designers thrust into the dramatic action, actors composing and choreographing, and everyone encouraged to re-conceptualize their relationships to art-making. This exploration allowed the piece a fluidity to match its themes, and an electric vulnerability rife with potential. P L O T Water Play is an autobiographical piece in abstraction, centering the journey of a voice ripped from their body in a point of trauma. In the immediate wake of the separation, the voice, “I,” wakes up lost, alone, and thirsty. They must fight their way back across deserts and through memories to reconnect with themselves, connecting in the process with other characters including Mom, represented by sound, and Dad, represented by light. In their growth, I learns that reuniting with You is only their first step of many to heal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e99b44b64389621ca526f3b/1587657046623-OYK5X2DB24V87WNQ2MYU/20191122_thr_water_play_span_LL_37.JPG P R O J E C T S - WATER PLAY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e99b44b64389621ca526f3b/1587399480999-DDKCRJ6AZN17HIVHXZKI/20191122_thr_water_play_span_LL_18.JPG P R O J E C T S - WATER PLAY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e99b44b64389621ca526f3b/1587399543101-0IBCSPZ600FUIYERRY7Y/20191122_thr_water_play_span_LL_19.JPG P R O J E C T S - WATER PLAY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e99b44b64389621ca526f3b/1587399465127-5KRMRRHK5SZ6050GESYY/20191122_thr_water_play_span_LL_09.JPG P R O J E C T S - WATER PLAY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e99b44b64389621ca526f3b/1587399535231-XL5J89BGWB2IIYSCM92N/20191122_thr_water_play_span_LL_21.JPG P R O J E C T S - WATER PLAY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e99b44b64389621ca526f3b/1587399539039-JPCSUVLOH4QGW8ZJ1H3Q/20191122_thr_water_play_span_LL_27.JPG P R O J E C T S - WATER PLAY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e99b44b64389621ca526f3b/1587399372776-U6EI49GJKHJOTHWV3JPT/20191122_thr_water_play_span_LL_41.JPG P R O J E C T S - WATER PLAY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e99b44b64389621ca526f3b/1587399485461-ZKERVYUNATZ0F4C4ISYR/20191122_thr_water_play_span_LL_08.JPG P R O J E C T S - WATER PLAY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e99b44b64389621ca526f3b/1587399495870-8CO1U5EIZZCWSGM2SG74/20191122_thr_water_play_span_LL_17.JPG P R O J E C T S - WATER PLAY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e99b44b64389621ca526f3b/1587399478027-8UKYOY5504GV5QDX2ZQX/20191122_thr_water_play_span_LL_15.JPG P R O J E C T S - WATER PLAY
